Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Remembering Abraham Lincoln

The story is told of a man who was applying for a job with the Lincoln Administration. President Lincoln was refusing to hire the man. Why are you refusing to hire this man?, came the question. "I don't like the looks of that man," replied the President. "Why that man can't help how he looks," said the inquirer. "Why, certainly he can," exclaimed Lincoln. "A man's character shows in his face." President Lincoln did not hire the man.

Abraham Lincoln was right. We can learn from Lincoln, not only in how a man's character shows in his face, but in how important character is as such (for both men and women).
